OREGON CITY – The City known as the “End of the Oregon Trail” will gather to commemorate its 175th year of being incorporated as a city on Saturday, August 24, 10 a.m. to 9:15 p.m.
This free, family-friendly event will include interactive games, learning stations, heritage exhibits, and demonstrations. Attendees will meet and learn the names of four new oxen statues that have been added to the Visitor Center’s collection. Headlining the event is the Brothers Comatose, a five-piece string band that features West Coast renderings of traditional bluegrass, country, and rock’n’roll music. Wrapping up the evening will be a laser light show on the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive and Visitor Center stage.
Food and beverage will be available onsite for purchase. Local representatives such as Oregon City Heritage Coordinating Committee, Willamette Falls Legacy Project, and Clackamas County will be represented.
